Pictures of you and your date or some friends is fine but it's not your job to document the party. We hired someone for that
This!

This is the kind of shite that can easily be avoided if you just ask people to not take photos during the ceremony.
Again, 15 minute ceremony. After that, take photos until you're out of memory for all I care.

This has been a very interesting rabbit hole we've gone down. Started as caterers, venues, and wedding booze...touched on feelings, cell phones, and kids.
What shall we talk about next? Religion? Politics?
Seriously though, all good stuff and will help me and what seems like a few others figure out this wedding stuff. I've been involved in so many, I got cocky and thought I could figure this out. All good stuff I'm getting here today.

That's a shitty photographer. Don't hire one of those.

Thank you for completely ignoring the point.

No flash should be more powerful than the one the photographer is using. There are way too many things wrong with that pic for any legit photographer to put their name on.
That looks like it was taken by someone that bought a Nikon 3300 on black friday and decided they were a "photographer."

booze for ~$20 per person.
If you are in SE Louisiana you can get The Crescent Bar in Hammond to cater the booze. They charge by how much alcohol you consume, not by head. When we did it we invited 200-250 people to our wedding, the final bill from The Crescent was under $1k. The owner is very accommodating and willing to fill requests for whatever you want.
When we sat down to put a deposit down he went over everything and said expect to be around $5/head for well stuff, $7/head for the mid tier liquor/beer and around $9/head for "top shelf".

This is great information! Did the ~$1k include a bartender(s) also?

Ok, I'm really not arguing the quality of the photo. I agree with you that it's generally a bad picture. I just pulled a random one off google.
But let's say it was a perfectly fine photo, but for the two people who are clearly holding cell phones up right at the aisle.

This may be the most bridezilla sounding thing I've read in a wedding thread on TD.
I think it's just a respect thing. We all seen that aunt that's in the way of the bar or dance floor
It's less a bridezilla and more a modern Seinfeld
no one is going actively police it but just get out of the women just snapping pics of every flower

I wouldn't consider the picture ruined. Neither would my wife.

I haven't. You sound like a control freak honestly.

There we go, at least we're arguing about the same thing now.
And if you and your wife don't mind, great. More power to you. Just like if y'all didn't mind having kids there. It's your wedding, it's your prerogative. I (and my fiance) just feel differently.
Posted on 12/9/16 at 2:57 pm to AbitaFan08
I promise I'm not trying to change your mind. My SIL is getting married in May and is doing the no kids thing, even though it's all the same kids we had at ours.
Everyone can do things there way. Like you said, it's your party.

I've looked at my wedding photos exactly zero times
we did do the no kids thing though
thinned the herd considerably and everyone had a great time

It's more that I just hate taking photos endlessly especially the first hour or so when it's a rush to the bar/food. Just be out of the way, people want to eat/drink not take a photo for your facebook. Once people are lubed up its and flowing it's not an issue because it thins out a bit. Go nuts at that point.

To the OP: also consider taking your wedding photos BEFORE the ceremony.
I know it ruins the whole "groom seeing the bride in the dress for the first time at the ceremony" thing, but you and the rest of the wedding party can go straight from the wedding to enjoying yourselves at the reception that you paid a fortune for.

Oh come on
Full disclosure, my reception venue didn't start the "timer" until we had arrived. But our after ceremony pics took like 10 minutes tops. This is partly where a good photographer earns their money IMO.

Somehow I knew you'd have a bone to pick with that comment, LNCH, just like you tend to do with most things I post.
I'm just advocating to get the "business" portion of the evening done early so you can enjoy yourself. I know people who have done it and were glad they did, and people who didn't do it and wished they had. I also know people who didn't do it and didn't mind. Just food for thought for the OP.
